Fab Freebie: The Cutting Edge

*** This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***

We’ve got two names to announce as the random winners this week and they are… Eileen Marie (who lives on the edge by teaching on the “mean streets of Chicago”) and Kristin M (who is the mom to a “crazy 2 year old” – which is a life on the edge that we can relate to). Congrats ladies! And for everyone else, Cutting Edge Stencils added a 20% discount code – YHL20 –  that’s good through Sunday. Sweet!

Who wants to jump on the wall stencil bandwagon with us (remember when Sherry spent 14 hours stenciling our office last October? Well how does a $50 nudge sound? Because the folks at Cutting Edge Stencils are gonna give two of you a gift card that’ll cover just about any stencil in their catalog – from florals and geometrics to damasks and graphic shapes. They’ve even got a new collection of stencils created by Design Star winner Kim Myles (we especially love her gingko leaf design on the right). And is the one on the top left giving anyone else Jeff Lewis vibes?

Cutting Edge Stencil Giveaway

  • PRIZE: $50 to Cutting Edge Stencils
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “EDGE ME!” and tell us…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … how you live life on the edge. I ask this somewhat sarcastically since life on the edge for us usually includes eating a second dessert or negotiating a good yard sale deal. But if you’ve really done (or regularly do) something thrilling or outrageous, we’d love to hear about it.
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, June 6th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: Two
  • PRIZE SHIPS: The United States (although we do try to wrangle as many international giveaways as possible)
  • DISCOUNT: 20% off with code YHL20 through 6/17
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Cutting Edge Stencils.

We have an offer in on a short sale (for over 6 months now) and are making another offer on a different short sale tonight! Whichever one agrees first…thats the one we are buying. All before baby?

    Not too edgy. I occasionally stay up all night (usually for midnight movie or videogame releases) and then go work 8 hours the next morning.

    EDGE ME! Don’t do much living on the edge, aside from the occasional staying up past my bedtime. But I usually need up regretting that about 3:00 the next afternoon.

    Oh gosh I’m so not, nor have I ever been, one to live or want to live on the edge but I think one of the craziest things I’ve done was follow my now husband (then boyfriend) across the world to a third world country to live with him for a period of time. Also having a todder is something kin to living on the edge I think :)

    EDGE ME! I guess my riskiest activity would be street biking in Richmond. Lots of people think I’m nuts for doing it, and I guess I sort of am, considering how often people get hit. But I already got hit doing it once, so what’s the likelihood that it’ll happen again? :)

    Edge Me … my idea of living on the edge these days is considering a stencil for a wall of our new house! I love the color gray so everything tends to be variations of that shade … a stencil would really help me live in on the edge!

    My “living on the edge” sounds close to yours – eating an extra dessert or *gasp* getting an appetizer when out to dinner! I would like to go skydiving, though!
